KTM 890 Adventure R 2023 First Impressions😍

[@strikerstriker6769]

Ottima recensione!! Prossimo video assolutamente sulle sensazioni in fuori strada!!!

[@JRidesTheWorld]

ahah chiaro! magari in coppia con una t700?

[@69DeeGee]

Hey great video. Will you be riding 2 up with luggage?

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Hey I’m not sure yet. Didn’t buy the aluminum panniers for now. Will just use soft bags. Why?

[@69DeeGee]

@@JRidesTheWorld I’ve just put a deposit down on the same bike, I’m coming from an 1190R and I take my wife on the back for our holidays into Europe. So just wondered if you rode with pillion and luggage, that’s the reason I ask. 👍🏼

[@JRidesTheWorld]

@@69DeeGee I will ride with a passenger in two weeks and will be able to tell you more. But I bet it’s not the same as with the 1290

[@69DeeGee]

@@JRidesTheWorld yes that would be good!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@69DeeGee]

Picked the new bike up yesterday!! 👍🏼

[@lorisrossi82]

Sondo indeciso tra la "S" e questa...inizierei con questa moto ad affacciarmi sul mondo offroad ma ho troppa paura che la R rispetto alla base perda troppo per strada normale e spostamenti autostradali e finché non avrò fatto corsi vari non sarei in grado di sfruttarla comunque in off....che dici? Hai provato la "base" Adventure 2023 con le nukve sospensioni regolabili?

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Secondo me se non hai ma fatto fuoristrada l’890 S basta e avanza. La R si comporta bene in strada ma non è comoda come la S. E poi basta che metti dei pneumatici come si deve alla S e diventa perfetta per fuoristrada!

[@Bouldertag]

Where are you driving through? What small towns/cities are those? I would like to purchase a home there.

[@JRidesTheWorld]

This is Austria 🇦🇹

[@Bouldertag]

@@JRidesTheWorld Amazing!! I was going to ask that. So what area? What Canyon? I have the 2023 890- I also and love it. Great vid thanks!!

[@CyberducPA]

i have a 2021 Adv r and a 2023 adv r, this is a impressive Bike. I love it. My 21er has 30000km not one single fault. My Son rides it now. The Seat is on all 890s not for hours of sitting. its the only thing i wish they do better, but i can live with it.

[@speedzwo]

welcher Tankschutz ist das

[@JRidesTheWorld]

KTM power part!

[@ManBikeSwag]

I recommend a heat shield on the rear shock. I just cooked mine and it needs rebuilding already.

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Thanks 🙏

[@cityhunter7410]

Ciao, due info che non ho trovato sul sito KTM: 1) la sella è regolabile in altezza? 2) la frizione è idraulica o…a cavo? Grazie 🙂

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Ciao! Non sono un esperto ma penso che la frizione sia idraulica, e non credo si possa regolare la sella ( almeno quella di serie). Ci do un occhio appena posso

[@cityhunter7410]

@@JRidesTheWorld grazie mille 😉 (se c’è la pompa/serbatoietto olio, è idraulica 😊)

[@JRidesTheWorld]

@@cityhunter7410 yes e’ idraulica! Per quanto riguarda l’altezza, secondo me può essere regolato sull modello S

[@cityhunter7410]

@@JRidesTheWorld perfetto, grazie ancora 👍🏻🙂

[@gbner9991]

I agree this bike looks amazing from the side view. Like a full on rally bike basically. But the front still can take some improvement, then it would be the craziest looking bike in the class. Maybe one day if I got ride of my T7 I would try this one.

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Agreed, the front light can be definitely improved!

[@xXRedEyedStrangerXx]

That’s my battle between t7 and 890 r. Leaning 890r just for the better on road capacity so I can go ride with my buddies on Harley’s if I want and be comfortable

[@JRidesTheWorld]

@@xXRedEyedStrangerXx yeah, it really depends on how much you use the Moto off-road vs road. The 890 on the road is slightly better than the t7, but certainly not the most comfortable.

[@xXRedEyedStrangerXx]

@@JRidesTheWorld I think the added power has to add some comfort to a degree, plus the lower COG for low speed, traffic etc.

[@MatDemers]

I want to change my 1290 2022 for a 2023 890R, any regrets ?

[@JRidesTheWorld]

I have no regrets, but it really depends on what you want to do with your motorcycle. What are you concerns/questions?

[@MatDemers]

@@JRidesTheWorld I am concern Just confort on road and wind protection. Because i will still do some road to get to back country roads or trails. I know i will loose a bit of both on the 890R.

[@JRidesTheWorld]

@@MatDemers yep, but honestly I got used to it pretty quick. So it’s very subjective. If you are really worried about wind protection and comfort, you should get the 890 S

[@MatDemers]

@@JRidesTheWorld I will have to get use to it, cause no way i am going to switch 1290 S to 890 S :D

[@Sisu2280]

Try this... Go 120 and the sand up, you'll see how much cleaner the air is when you're fully clear of the motorcycle. I stand up on the freeway, even at 120, every few minutes to get a rest.

[@JRidesTheWorld]

interesting, i will try it for sure. Honestly, i'm more worried about how loud it gets vs wind buffeting. I will ride on the highway next week. Let's see

[@Sisu2280]

@@JRidesTheWorld I agree... The sense you get is that your head is quite stable, at least it feels that way, but then when you stand up at those highway speeds, it really does show you how turbulent it is. That's why I suggest you try it, it feels like there's no buffeting, but there is still quite a lot. And yes, I agree 100%, so very loud - even with a great helmet and earplugs. Both the loudness and the turbulence are really noticeable if you stand and get out of the dirty air for a bit.

[@JRidesTheWorld]

@@Sisu2280 let's see, i might buy an extended windshield to improve things?

[@elafricano2995]

congrats I love the bike, but the scenaries are even better, enjoy it my friend

[@ManBikeSwag]

I have a question for you. Since adding the tech pack while still being in under the trial demo miles range, does your dash still say demo at the moment ?

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Hello! Nope it doesn't, but maybe because i told them in advance that i wanted them anyway. there was no need to test

[@Motovibes91]

How does the KTM compare to the Tenere 700? Is it worth the extra couple of thousand euro's?

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Uff this is a difficult one. I’m a huge KTM fan , but at the end of the day it depends on what you want to do with it. I would consider the T700 a easier Moto for beginners ( cheaper, less powerful) . But you are more than a beginner and want performance, than KTM is your choice. Hope this helps!

[@alanadams4048]

I rode mine without a screen for about 800 miles (way to go KTM). When mine finally came in, I cannot believe how loud it is.

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Yes that’s pretty loud unfortunately

[@martyn_g]

Earplugs. Even better, go custom moulds. Noise doesn’t bother me anymore.

[@JRidesTheWorld]

@@martyn_g yes I need to try earplugs

[@terryomara9403]

890r our new norden expedition for me best advs out there

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Agreed 🔥

[@TheSpragz]

I have one. The worst thing about the bike is the wind buffeting. My 690 is less windy

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Do you feel it on your helmet also? I don’t honestly, but I do feel it on my shoulders

[@TheSpragz]

@@JRidesTheWorld yes mate. Right in the face. A lot of people are saying it’s the stock mirrors causing it so I’m going to take them off and go for a ride.

[@ready_to_fail]

Ciao J , sto valutando questo passaggio pure io , sono solo terrorizzato di rimpiangere i 160cv della mia S in strada , ma ho bisogno di un mezzo più votato all'off perchè ultimamente sto facendo quasi solo off e con la ADV- S i limiti sono parecchi. La mia paura è che in strada poi resterò molto male.

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Eh si... dipende proprio da cosa vuoi fare con la moto. Io ho sempre fatto off con la 1290, pero alla fine dei conti e' pesante e stancante ( ti spezza le braccia). L' 890 dovrebbe essere molto piu facile da guidare per lunghe giornate in off e cmq spinge in strada. Ricorda, sono 105 cavalli ma con molto meno peso, quindi la sensazione di potenza c'e! Ti consiglio di fare un test ride!

[@ready_to_fail]

@@JRidesTheWorld mi sa che la prendo entro fine mese :)

[@JRidesTheWorld]

@@ready_to_fail eheh effetto 890🙌 bravo, non te ne pentirai.

[@BraaapoholicBob]

I have a 2022 and I absolutely love the bike. Like most stock bikes, it takes quite a bit of money to get them set up to really ride off road. By that I don’t mean fire roads, etc. by the time you set up ergos in protection your thousands of dollars in. If you’re lucky enough, you don’t need suspension tuning awesome but if you’re like me it’s gonna be another $800-$1000 to get it right. I will say once it’s dialed in this bike is surprisingly good off-road. That is where it shines.

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Can’t wait to test it off road 💪

[@carcarlo64]

Bella, davvero bella. Mi sembri anche soddisfatto della scelta, quindi è quella giusta 😃

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Yes! La moto e pazzesca!

[@AA-wd2or]

I plan to buy it next year..i hate fact that you have to pay extra 1000 euro for programs after 1000 km

[@JRidesTheWorld]

yeah i feel you. However, i love all those additional accessories so they are worth the price

[@Sisu2280]

I have the S screen on order... On the highway this sucks!

[@JRidesTheWorld]

yes i did expect this to suck. Haven't tried it yet on the highway.

[@Sisu2280]

@@JRidesTheWorld its a great bike, both on and off road, just need to make some changes. I think you should also decat your bike - will sound so much better the Akra pipe! A great video and great scenery. Well done.

[@MrEtnorb]

There is no way a square sided screen can deliver a decent relatively quiet flow of air to your upper body. I’ve been involved with screens for 25 years, using, selling and modifying them and you need compound curves without sudden changes in the edge shape. You also need a cutout near the base to allow airflow up the backside. Bike manufacturers have NEVER put any importance on smooth airflow, similar to their disdain for comfortable seats. And rule 1 of bike riding, wear earplugs. Hearing loss is cumulative. This is a good presentation of how this screen performs in the real world and I find that virtually all bike journos ignore this issue at their press launches. They prefer to prove how clever they are doing endless standing opposite lock slides out of corners. Boring.

[@JRidesTheWorld]

Thanks for your comment 🙏 agreed, I’ve done 4000km so far, and got used to the wind on my shoulder + using hearplugs 🙌 loving the bike off-road
